<div>I would advise being careful of modifying a company computer. Any modifications not OK'd by corporate could be construed as destruction of property, and be a fire-able offense. As stated previously, systems are locked down for a reason. If you open a security hole and bad things cascade to your network, you could (worst case scenario) face a lawsuit for property damage to your company.<br>

Work w/ the process instead of around the process. Is there a reason you need local admin outside of installing software on it? If so your domain admin should be able to install software for you, following the normal process of software installation. If is part of a domain for work are you violating any policies/rules/procedures by "hacking" the system to give you rights? <br>
A bit lost as to what the goal in this is?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 17, 2011 at 1:07 PM, Matt Michielsen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mattmichielsen@gmail.com" target="_blank">mattmichielsen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Not necessarily. Unless your myriad of hoops definition is a little<br>
different than mine. He should be able to use the local admin user<br>
(potentially after unlocking it with a ntpasswd boot cd) to grant his<br>
domain user local privileges. As for Power User vs. Administrator, it<br>
depends on what other policies are applied. Power User is probably<br>
good enough.<br>
